Abstract: In the non-cylindrical domain ${Q}=\{(x,t); \alpha_1(t)<x<\alpha_2(t), t\in(0,T)\}$ we consider the initial-boundary value problem for the one-dimensional Kuramoto--Sivashinsky equation $$ u_t+u\,u_x+\beta\,u_{xx}+\delta\,u_{xxxx}=0. $$ We prove the existence and uniqueness of global weak, strong and smooth solutions. The exponential decay of the solutions is also proved.

Keywords: Kuramoto--Sivashinsky equation; noncylindrical domains; Galerkin method.

Classification (MSC2000): 35Q35, 35Q53.
